Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power communication operation and maintenance services, and more specifically, relates to a communication device operation and maintenance service system and method based on augmented reality. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous expansion of the scale of power communication networks and service scales, the types of communication devices are gradually increasing. Timely operation and maintenance of communication devices can extend the service life of the devices and ensure the reliability of services.

[0003] Currently, there are two maintenance methods: performing operation and maintenance on devices according to a plan, and performing operation and maintenance on devices according to the actual status. When performing maintenance according to a plan, a specially formulated maintenance plan is used, which explains which devices will be maintained at what time. The advantage of this method is that there is a known work plan and the maintenance cost can be calculated. The disadvantage is that the maintenance interval is strictly fixed, which may result in the devices to be maintained being in the waiting period for maintenance. When performing maintenance according to the actual status, it is necessary to monitor the working status of the devices in real time. When the status parameters reach the set threshold, maintenance will be carried out on them. This method is the most commonly used maintenance method because the operation and maintenance work will only be carried out when needed.

[0004] The method of performing operation and maintenance on devices according to the actual status also has certain defects: 1) If the monitored parameter list is incomplete, it may lead to the inability to respond in advance when the device has an unexpected failure; 2) When maintenance is carried out when the parameters are abnormal, if the operation and maintenance time is long, it may also lead to device failures. Both of these defects require the operation and maintenance personnel to quickly and timely maintain the devices and solve the problems that occur, which requires a high technical level of the operation and maintenance personnel.

[0005] Prior art document 1 (CN116976851A) discloses a smart computer room maintenance AR remote assistance system, method, electronic device and storage medium. The remote assistance system includes a server and at least one terminal, and the server is connected to each terminal through a network; the terminal includes a main control module, a communication module, an AR module and a camera module, and the main control module is respectively connected to the communication module, the AR module and the camera module; the server includes: a fault identification module, a fault guidance database, a fault retrieval module and an image data sending module.

[0006] Prior art document 2 (CN113162784A) discloses a method for generating an operation and maintenance template. The method includes: obtaining the operation information of the operation and maintenance operations performed by the user; using the operation information to determine the relevance between the operation and maintenance operations; using the relevance between the operation and maintenance operations to determine the execution process of the operation and maintenance tasks; and using the execution process to generate an operation and maintenance template.

[0007] However, the deficiency of the existing technical document 1 is that its fault repair suggestions are implemented in the form of playing video materials, lacking flexibility, and the coverage only includes fault repair, lacking the auxiliary functions of other professional work in the inspection of communication equipment and the standardized operation guidelines. The deficiency of the existing technical document 2 is that it can only generate operation and maintenance templates composed of fixed action combinations, lacking intelligent and precise action guidelines.

Detailed implementation manners

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described in this application are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the spirit of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a communication device operation and maintenance service system based on augmented reality, including: The bottom layer is the communication device layer, which includes all operable communication devices.

[0026] The second layer is the communication layer, and the communication layer is connected to the communication device layer through a data exchange interface.

[0027] Specifically, data exchange between the two layers is carried out through data exchange interfaces such as I / O controllers and OPC UA. The communication layer includes digital communication protocols such as DeviceNet, POWERLINK, and WirelessHART, which are used to communicate with the bottom layer or transmit information to the AR server layer.

[0028] The third layer is the AR server layer, which is connected to the communication layer. The AR server layer includes a pre-built operation and maintenance template database. The AR server layer receives and processes requests from the display device layer, obtains the status information related to the operation and maintenance of the communication device corresponding to the request of the display device layer in the communication device layer through the communication layer, and performs data processing according to the corresponding operation and maintenance template called in the operation and maintenance template database to form a complete operation and maintenance operation process, and outputs the operation and maintenance operation process to the display device layer for display.

[0029] Specifically, the AR server layer contains application programs that execute tasks, and its functions include: 1) processing requests from upper-layer clients; 2) obtaining status information related to the operation and maintenance of communication devices; 3) processing data; 4) preparing answers (that is, forming an operation and maintenance operation process according to the processed data); 5) sending responses to upper-layer clients. The AR server layer contains an operation and maintenance template database, which can support the AR server layer to perform data processing after calling the template, and output the formed auxiliary content of the entire operation and maintenance process to the upper-layer client.

[0030] The fourth layer is the display device layer, which is connected to the AR server layer. The display device layer includes devices that use AR technology.

[0031] Specifically, the display device layer includes devices that can use AR technology, such as AR glasses, tablet computers, mobile terminals, etc., which can be used as clients.

[0032] Optionally, the communication device includes an information recording module, which is used to store the identifier of the communication device.

[0033] The device that uses AR technology in the display device layer obtains the identifier of the communication device stored in the information recording module, encapsulates the identifier in the request of the display device layer, the AR server layer receives the request of the display device layer and parses the request to obtain the identifier, and obtains the status information of the communication device corresponding to the identifier through the communication layer.

[0034] The information recording module can be a QR code or a barcode, or any display icon that can contain the identifier of the communication device to be operated and maintained.

[0035] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 When constructing an operation and maintenance template database using the communication device operation and maintenance service script algorithm, it includes: The first step is to determine the communication device operation and maintenance tasks, and the communication device operation and maintenance tasks include one or more decomposed operation actions.

[0036] Optionally, the number of decomposed operation actions is less than or equal to the first quantity threshold.

[0037] Optionally, when the number of decomposition operation actions in the communication device operation and maintenance task is greater than the first quantity threshold, the communication device operation and maintenance task is split into multiple subtasks.

[0038] Specifically, the task content shall not exceed 20 decomposition operation actions. If the task volume is large, it needs to be split into several subtasks.

[0039] Furthermore, it is determined whether multiple splits are required according to the object of the task content in the communication device operation and maintenance task.

[0040] When the object of the task content in the communication device operation and maintenance task meets the first requirement, the communication device operation and maintenance task is directly split according to the preset inspection steps.

[0041] When the object of the task content is the device or component itself, for example, when conducting an inspection work on the communication device, the task content is directly decomposed into checking the device indicator light, checking the device display screen, recording temperature data, recording voltage data, recording current data, checking the looseness of the cable, checking the damage of the cable, checking the aging of the cable, cleaning the device dust, and keeping the device well ventilated according to the inspection steps.

[0042] When the object of the task content in the communication device operation and maintenance task meets the second requirement, the communication device operation and maintenance task is split into multiple first-class subtasks, then the first-class subtasks are split into multiple second-class subtasks, and then the second-class subtasks are split according to the corresponding steps of the second-class subtasks.

[0043] When the object of the task content is to handle defects or faults, the task needs to be first split into multiple subtasks. For example, for the work of handling communication device faults, the task content needs to be first decomposed into first-class subtasks such as emergency response, fault troubleshooting, device maintenance, performance testing, and document recording. Then, the first-class subtasks are further divided into: 1) Emergency response: activate the emergency plan, isolate the faulty device, and notify relevant personnel; 2) Fault troubleshooting: confirm the fault phenomenon, check the device log, and test the hardware status; 3) Device maintenance: back up the device configuration, replace the faulty components, and calibrate the device; 4) Performance testing: conduct compatibility testing, conduct stress testing, and conduct fault recovery testing; 5) Document recording: record operation and maintenance operations, update the device file, and write reports, etc. Finally, the content of the second-class subtasks is decomposed according to the steps in turn.

[0044] In the second step, each decomposition operation action of the communication device operation and maintenance task is described, and it is determined whether there is a corresponding independent operation action template in the database for this decomposition operation action. If there is a template, the operation action needs to be described strictly according to the template. If there is no template, the operation action is directly described.

[0045] In the third step, after the description is completed, the action description needs to establish a connection with the operation object, that is, the actual communication device, and perform binding.

[0046] In the fourth step, after successfully creating the operation and maintenance operation action description list and linking it to the corresponding operation object, the system will perform an operability test. If it fails, it means that the specified action list or description content is incorrect, and it is necessary to return to the second step to decompose the action again and describe it in sequence; if it passes, it means that the action description list is established.

[0047] In the fifth step, after passing the system test, an operation and maintenance operation template for the task target is established according to the action description list, which is an ordered set of multiple independent operation action templates.

[0048] In the sixth step, it is detected whether there are the same template elements between the operation and maintenance operation template of the task target and the operation and maintenance operation template in the database, that is, whether it has the same independent operation action template as the operation and maintenance operation templates of other task targets. If not, all the independent operation action templates are entered into the database in the form of a set with the operation and maintenance operation template of the task target; if so, the next step of judgment is carried out.

[0049] In the seventh step, it is detected whether the operation and maintenance operation template of the task target is the same as the operation and maintenance operation template in the database. If not, the same independent operation action templates existing in the database are screened out, and the new independent operation action templates are entered into the database in the form of a set with the operation and maintenance operation template of the task target; if so, return to the first step to determine the next device operation and maintenance task.

[0050] Through the pre-constructed operation and maintenance operation template in the embodiment of the present invention, the entry of various operation and maintenance operation templates for various communication devices can be realized, and further, in the actual field application, the AR device can be used to provide real-time operation and maintenance assistance for the operation and maintenance personnel.

[0051] Combined Figure 3 As shown in , Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a method for operating and maintaining a communication device, which is applied to the communication device operation and maintenance service system in Embodiment 1. The method includes: The AR server layer receives the request from the display device layer, generates an information query request according to the request from the display device layer, and sends the information query request to the operation and maintenance template database and the communication device layer; The communication device layer parses the information query request to obtain the identifier of the corresponding communication device, queries according to the identifier, obtains the status information of the communication device corresponding to the identifier, and feeds it back to the operation and maintenance template database through the communication layer; The operation and maintenance template database queries according to the identifier, obtains the operation and maintenance operation template corresponding to the identifier, and feeds back the operation and maintenance operation template and the status information to the AR server layer together; The AR server layer fills the operation and maintenance operation template according to the status information to form a complete operation and maintenance operation process, and outputs the operation and maintenance operation process to the display device layer for display.

[0052] Specifically, the display device reads the QR code on the communication device to be operated and maintained, and packs and sends the QR code information to the AR server layer; the AR server layer parses the packed data, confirms the identifier of the communication device to be operated and maintained, and initiates an information query request to the operation and maintenance template database and the communication device layer; the communication device layer queries the status information of the device according to the identifier of the communication device to be operated and maintained, including: device model, temperature, operating status, alarm content, working wavelength, service information, etc., and returns it to the upper layer; the operation and maintenance template database queries the operation and maintenance operation template of the device according to the status information, and returns the template and the status information to the AR server layer together; the AR server layer fills the operation and maintenance operation template according to the status information of the communication device to be operated and maintained to form a complete operation and maintenance operation process, and then sends the result to the display device; finally, the display device displays the complete operation and maintenance operation process to implement the auxiliary function for the operation and maintenance personnel.

[0053] Specifically, the operation and maintenance template database queries the operation and maintenance operation template of the device according to the status information, including: The operation and maintenance template database determines the device type according to the device model, and filters out the general routine operation and maintenance operation template of this type of device; Judge whether the device is overheated according to the temperature, and decide whether to add an operation and maintenance operation template for handling abnormal device temperature; According to the alarm content, add a troubleshooting operation and maintenance operation template that matches it.

[0054] Optionally, combined with Figure 2 As shown, when constructing the operation and maintenance template database using the communication device operation and maintenance service script algorithm, it includes: The first step is to determine the communication device operation and maintenance task, and the communication device operation and maintenance task includes one or more decomposed operation actions.

[0055] Optionally, the number of decomposed operation actions is less than or equal to the first quantity threshold.

[0056] Optionally, when the number of decomposed operation actions in the communication device operation and maintenance task is greater than the first quantity threshold, the communication device operation and maintenance task is split into multiple subtasks.

[0057] Specifically, the task content shall not exceed 20 decomposed operation actions. If the task volume is large, it needs to be split into several subtasks.

[0058] Furthermore, judge whether multiple splits are required according to the object of the task content in the communication device operation and maintenance task.

[0059] When the object of the task content in the communication device operation and maintenance task meets the first requirement, the communication device operation and maintenance task will be directly split according to the preset inspection steps.

[0060] When the object of the task content is the device or component itself, for example, when conducting an inspection on a communication device, the task content will be directly decomposed into checking the device indicator lights, checking the device display screen, recording temperature data, recording voltage data, recording current data, checking for loose cables, checking for damaged cables, checking for cable aging, cleaning the device dust, and keeping the device well ventilated in sequence according to the inspection steps.

[0061] When the object of the task content in the communication device operation and maintenance task meets the second requirement, the communication device operation and maintenance task will be split into multiple first-class subtasks, then the first-class subtasks will be split into multiple second-class subtasks, and then the second-class subtasks will be split according to the corresponding steps of the second-class subtasks.

[0062] When the object of the task content is to handle defects or faults, the task needs to be first split into multiple subtasks. For example, for the work of handling communication device faults, the task content needs to be first decomposed into first-class subtasks such as emergency response, fault troubleshooting, device maintenance, performance testing, and documentation. Then, the first-class subtasks will be sequentially divided into: 1) Emergency response: Activate the emergency plan, isolate the faulty device, and notify relevant personnel; 2) Fault troubleshooting: Confirm the fault phenomenon, check the device logs, and test the hardware status; 3) Device maintenance: Back up the device configuration, replace the faulty components, and calibrate the device; 4) Performance testing: Conduct compatibility testing, conduct stress testing, and conduct fault recovery testing; 5) Documentation: Record operation and maintenance operations, update the device archives, and write reports, etc. as second-class subtasks. Finally, the content of the second-class subtasks will be decomposed in sequence according to the steps.

[0063] In the second step, describe each decomposed operation action of the communication device operation and maintenance task, and determine whether there is a corresponding independent operation action template for the decomposed operation action in the database. If there is a template, the operation action needs to be described strictly in accordance with the template. If there is no template, directly describe the operation action.

[0064] In the third step, after the description is completed, the action description needs to be associated with the operation object, that is, the actual communication device, and bound.

[0065] In the fourth step, after successfully creating the operation and maintenance operation action description list and linking it to the corresponding operation object, the system will conduct an operability test. If it fails, it means that the specified action list or description content is incorrect, and it is necessary to return to the second step to decompose the actions again and describe them in sequence; if it passes, it means that the action description list is established.

[0066] In the fifth step, after passing the system test, an operation and maintenance operation template for the task objective is established according to the action description list, which is an ordered set of multiple independent operation action templates.

[0067] In the sixth step, it is detected whether there are the same template elements between the operation and maintenance operation template of the task objective and the operation and maintenance operation template in the database, that is, whether it has the same independent operation action template as the operation and maintenance operation templates of other task objectives. If not, all the independent operation action templates are entered into the database in the form of a set with the operation and maintenance operation template of the task objective; if so, the next judgment is made.

[0068] In the seventh step, it is detected whether the operation and maintenance operation template of the task objective and the operation and maintenance operation template in the database are the same template. If not, the existing same independent operation action templates in the database are screened out, and the new independent operation action templates are entered in the form of a set with the operation and maintenance operation template of the task objective; if so, return to the first step to determine the next device operation and maintenance task.

[0069] Optionally, the AR server layer fills the operation and maintenance operation template according to the status information to form a complete operation and maintenance operation process, including: The status information includes traversing the reserved information blanks in the operation and maintenance operation template and finding the categories to which the information blanks belong. The categories include object position information, spatial position information, and numerical information; Finding the corresponding object position information, spatial position information, and numerical information of the information blanks in the status information; Adding the found object position information, spatial position information, and numerical information into the corresponding information blanks to generate a complete operation and maintenance operation process.

[0070] Specifically, first, traverse the reserved information blanks in the operation and maintenance operation template and find the categories to which the information blanks belong, which are divided into position information and numerical information. Then, according to the device status information, obtain the device model data, find the corresponding information, such as the slot number where the operation object is located, the working wavelength of the optical interface, etc., and fill it into the information blanks to form a complete operation and maintenance operation process and output it.

Then, based on the board information of the device, add the working wavelength information of "1550nm" to "set the wavelength parameter of the optical power meter to be the same as the working wavelength of the optical module ()". In this way, specific parameters can be added to the operation and maintenance operation template to generate a complete operation and maintenance operation process.
